What is the advantage of a water-jacketed CO2 incubator?
Water-jacketed incubators provide superior temperature stability and uniformity compared to air-jacketed models. The water jacket acts as a thermal buffer, reducing temperature fluctuations and ensuring rapid recovery after door openings or power interruptions.
How does this incubator control CO2 levels?
The incubator offers a choice of thermal conductivity (TC) or infrared (IR) CO2 sensors. TC sensors are cost-effective and reliable for stable environments, while IR sensors provide higher accuracy by minimizing humidity-related fluctuations.
Is this incubator suitable for cell culture applications?
Yes, it is specifically designed for cell culture growth and other sensitive applications. It maintains stable temperature and CO2 levels, ensuring an optimal environment for cell viability and proliferation.
How easy is it to clean and maintain this incubator?
The polished stainless steel chamber resists contamination and is easy to clean. The interior design supports effortless maintenance, and the shelves can be removed for thorough cleaning.
Can I adjust the shelving inside the incubator?
Yes, the incubator supports up to three stainless steel shelves, which can be adjusted to accommodate different sample sizes and configurations.
Does this incubator have a reversible door?
Yes, the door swing is reversible, allowing flexibility in placement and accessibility based on lab space requirements.
How does the incubator recover from power failures or temperature fluctuations?
The water-jacketed design ensures quick thermal recovery, minimizing temperature deviations after power interruptions. It provides stable protection to maintain sample integrity.
Does this incubator support external monitoring?
Yes, it offers optional 4-20mA data output, allowing integration with monitoring and data logging systems for real-time tracking of environmental conditions.
What safety features are included?
The incubator complies with UL, cUL, and CE certifications, ensuring it meets strict safety and performance standards. The water-jacketed system also provides additional protection against temperature fluctuations.
